Imagine your dream kitchen here.

Imagine looking out the window onto a beautiful garden.

Imagine new wiring and new wall texture.

Imagine how nice this pedestal sink is.

Imagine yourself soaking in a hot bubble bath.

Imagine coming home every day.

Imagine the door of opportunity.

Imagine the coolness of the floor on your warm feet on a hot summer day.

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania home with too much stuff. It’s not full-on hoarding and not dirty, just very cluttered.
The kitchen isn’t that bad, but you’ll see, as the photos go on and on, how much stuff is there. By the way, there are 2 stoves in this photo.

And here’s a third stove! Macramé!

It makes your eyes go all over.

So many pillows, they’ve spilled onto the floor!

Rugs, mismatched furniture, and a mirror in the corner.

More rugs!! It looks like the floor is caving in on the left. The end table is leaning against the wall!

Visual clutter everywhere. More macramé.

The owl lamp is a real hoot! Another macramé hanging.

There’s stuff everywhere.

Bedroom with more rugs.

This might be a combination bedroom, office, bathroom, and laundry room. It looks like there’s a toilet behind the blue curtain on the middle right. All those chairs. Do you sit and wait your turn for the toilet?

Good grief. How many towels do you need? I count at least 20 towels! And 5 scrubby pads.

Make it stop! It’s giving me a headache. It’s overwhelming.

Bonus room with lots of stuff.

Crafts room.

Giant mirror in the corner. More rugs. More clutter.

It would take a week to dust everything in this house.

Make it stop. I need to close my eyes and declutter my brain.

These Houston, Texas owners aren’t the cleanest sellers around. Let’s take a look.
Filthy carpet.

What’s the bacteria count in the carpet? Should the mayonnaise jar be refrigerated?

The cleanest room of the house.

Cardboard acts as an insulator if you have a drafty window?

S.O.S. is right. This home needs help.

The back side of the kitchen. Note the two air fresheners.

The dining room.

A pop of color in the family room.

The hide-away-bed sofa was not closed up in time for the real estate photo. Other items should be hidden away too.

Dinner is served.

Lunch is served.

Lots of counter space in the kitchen.

We see you in the mirror. We know you’re making an effort to get the house ready to sell. But the dog looks embarrassed. Perhaps we should wait until you are completely ready before we take the real estate photos?

There’s still some work to be done in the kitchen.

The family room is no where ready. We can’t possibly publish these photos for potential buyers, can we? Oh, you did? Oops.

These Goodyear, Arizona sellers are heading in the wrong direction. One Direction posters. (eyes rolling)

On the other side of the curtain: clutter!

The writing on the mirror reads, “Take your medicine.”

This is the first room buyers will see. It’s supposed to be the living room, ‘though they appear to use it as an office.

The dining room. First impressions as you walk into the house?

TV’s on! Eggs! They carried the green paint color into the family room.

Kermit the Frog is starring in Forrest Green.

Technically, the bed’s not made.

An array of toiletries. Thank you for sharing.

Another unmade bed! And dirty wall.

Bazinga!

Could use some tidying up before selling.

Did we forget to mention this is a short sale?

Good ‘moring’ to you too. There’s other writing too: br— use of crama- only.

The house has a swimming pool. That just increased its value.

Oh, that just decreased its value.

Wait. What are those random items in the back yard and patio?

No surprise to see stuff piled on the patio. Sure to impress buyers?

Neglected home.

Owned by the same family since 1993. But they refinanced for $180,000 in 2005. Perhaps to remodel the home?

The house went into foreclosure. The bank sold it recently in this condition for $50,500.

We’re not seeing any renovations so far.

None of the $180,000 was spent in the kitchen.

Or in the bathroom.

The bank disclosed to buyers that repairs are needed to the room addition. Building permits probably needed too.

The bank also said the house has termites and roof problems.

The investor buyer could spend $50,000 and really fix up the place. Too bad the previous owners didn’t.
